Chapter 64: The Convergence of the Great Armies

Gongsun Zhu didn't continue to waste any time in Changshan.

The Sanhe cavalry led by Cao Mengde, the Wuhuan elite cavalry led by the sect member, and the Youzhou miscellaneous cavalry led by him.

This is the vanguard of Huangfu Song, if they can't play their majesty and domineering, with Huangfu Song's character, I'm afraid that none of them will want to live.

Therefore, after taking Zhao Yun with him, Gongsun Zhu immediately chose the cavalry to leave, and took a direct impact on Zhongshan by taking advantage of the situation.

Yang Feng, the black mountain bandit general who besieged Zhongshan, also did it in one go.

Although he couldn't kill him, this guy may have gotten some news from Bai Huan.

So when they rushed over with their troops, this guy actually ran away with his troops.

Although he killed a lot of Yellow Turban thieves, this Yang Feng failed to kill him, which is a pity.

But even so, this can be regarded as a solution to the crisis in Zhongshan.

And from Zhongshan, he got a lot of grain, grass and money support.

Just because this place is really a wealthy businessman...

After solving the problems of Changshan and Zhongshan at the same time, this Gongsun Zhu also took advantage of the situation to join Liu Bei and others who were fighting in the central and northern parts of Jizhou.

After the two sides converged, this power also completely rose.

Especially if he got Zhao Yun's Gongsun Zhu, even if he didn't get the loyalty of the other party, it was a lot easier for him.

At least in the face of closure... He's not under so much pressure anymore.

When the group hit the road again, they were really in a much better mood with each other.

The main thing is that they are likely to have overcome one last obstacle.

The reason why it is very possible is because Zhang Niujiao of the Black Mountain thieves has already fought in Julu County with Chu Yan and others, and the fight is quite tragic.

Of course, that's not why they're going to trouble each other.

One of the bigger reasons is.... Their group, at this time, will eventually go to Guangzong of Julu County, but they are not worried, because Julu County is too big, if they walk around, they will basically not collide with Zhang Niujiao and others.

Julu is very large, and Julu County can be described as the largest county in Jizhou.

At least this place was the largest county back then...

This is the place where Xiang Yu played back then, and it is also a first-class county, how big is it.

Changshan, Guangping, Bohai, Qinghe, Xindu and Zhuo County in Youzhou, a total of six counties are separated from Julu County.

Even after this split, he had as many as fifteen counties, and Guangzong, where their mentor Lu Zhi and Zhang Jiao had a mess, was the fortress of Julu County, and the Liao Tao that Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan were besieging was also the county governor of Julu.

These two battlefields fought at the same time, attracting too many soldiers and horses from both sides to surround these two places, resulting in the land of giant deer being a lot safer.

As long as they avoided the battlefield of Liao Tao and took a long detour, they should be able to reach the land of Guangzong safely.

Of course, you can also go to Huangfu Song's side again.

At that time, they can be regarded as calming down most of the problems in the northern part of Jizhou, and even Huangfu Song can no longer blame them for anything.

At least until now, at least Gongsun Zhu and his group have thought so far.

It's just that this idea was shattered on the fourth day after they entered the edge of Julu County.

"There is the main force of the Black Mountain thieves in front, and the banner is a big banner." Guan Yu in front sent someone to send news, which made the faces of Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhu and the others suddenly gloomy.

In order to avoid the pottery, they didn't even choose to rush in directly.

He didn't choose the road from Changshan County to Julu directly, in order to avoid encountering the main force of the Black Mountain when he came up.

Gongsun Zhu directly ordered to bypass this section of the battlefield.

Instead of looking for those shortcuts, he first went around Baixiang in Changshan, then bypassed Xiatao and walked Longyao, and finally crossed the mainland Ze from Pingxiang to the land of Guangzong.

The purpose of this is to allow them to bypass the main battlefield and then deal with the rest of Montenegro, and finally take the main Montenegrin force.

The plan was fine, and they looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything wrong.

As a result, they heard the news just after walking through Baixiang, and it is self-evident what the "Zhang" banner that blocked their way in front of them represented.

It can even be said that... They didn't need to think much about it to know that this was a black mountain thief with horns.

After seeing this scene, they couldn't help but make everyone frown.

"Could it be that the matter of Changshan and Zhongshan has already let the black mountain thief Zhang Niujiao know, so he came to besiege and kill us?"

The commander of the army, Gongsun Zhu and Tian Chou, both of them couldn't believe it at this time, their speed was fast enough, and they didn't show the slightest mercy, and they were also cautious along the way.

Even if the horns knew about it, how could he know that they were here at this time?

And Liu Bei, who had been following behind, also broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the news at this time.

They have finally come to this point, and if they just attack the Montenegrin army, it will be very dangerous for them.

No one wants to fall short here...

Thankfully, their nerves didn't last long, as the scouts brought back the latest news.

In addition to the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Niujiao, the commander of the Black Mountain Bandits, led the Black Mountain Bandits to attack Julu County Xiatao, but unfortunately he was hit by a stray arrow and lost his life.

For this reason, Zhang Niujiao sent the Black Mountain thief to Chu Yan's hands, and let this righteous son continue to complete the great cause instead of him, and it was precisely because of this incident that Chu Yan changed his name to Zhang Yan, and the Black Mountain Yellow Turban also completely became the Taihang Black Mountain Thief who dominated Hebei and Erzhou after that.

Calculating the time, after Zhang Niujiao, an old guy who wanted to break through the giant deer and assist Zhang Jiao, died, it was really time for the Black Mountain Bandits to evacuate here.

In other words, those people on the other side now are Zhang Yan who has returned from defeat...

They were bent on hiding and trying to make a detour, but they ended up right in the face.

"It's really unlucky...."At this time, Gongsun Zhu only had one sentence in his heart, bad luck, it was really bad luck.

Things that can be solved peacefully, but they wasted time in a big circle, not to mention, but also to other people's faces.

"Brother Xuande, Mr. Zitai!" After Gongsun Zhu saw this scene, he was too lazy to say any nonsense.

Directly ordered to fight with the other party.

The main force is not easy to deal with by himself, and he can't give up the credit sent by God.

The defeat on the opposite side and the main force of the enemy on the opposite side are two completely different things, and they are dealt with in completely different ways.

Now after being reminded by the scouts, Tian Chou and Liu Bei began to make other arrangements.

Gongsun Zhu waved his hand, and the order was given.

"The army stops and slowly retreats!" The first thing Gongsun Zhu had to do was to make the main force of the army retreat, and at the same time tell Guan Yu his plan.

At this time, the soldiers and horses under their command were not small, and with the addition of the rebel army led by Zhao Yun, the soldiers and horses under his command finally barely broke 5,000.

Guan Yu, who is in the vanguard, is still the 800th front army, exploring the way for the army.

At this time, Guan Yu and the black mountain thief had already collided, and Liu Bei and the others had not been discovered, so they retreated from the battlefield as soon as possible.

At the same time, after Guan Yu received Liu Bei's order, he also ordered the army to act in a panicked and restless manner, and he pretended to be a bluff to ask the other party.

Eight hundred soldiers and horses who looked a little noisy and flustered were in Zhang Yan's eyes at this time, and it was really an opportunity.

They had just suffered a great defeat, and the main general Zhang Niujiao was gone, and he did not plan to obey Zhang Niujiao's orders to continue to storm Liao Tao to join Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Niujiao longed for that great sage and good teacher, but he was not.

Therefore, he chose to return to Changshan with soldiers and horses, and then used this as the foundation to contact many thieves and bandits in Sanzhou, and achieved a career based on the mountains.

But now the most important thing is how to subdue this group of guys, and how to improve morale.

At this time, Guan Yu appeared, and eight hundred soldiers appeared, Zhang Yan, who was thinking that more things were better than less, seemed to see God's favor for him.

"Don't talk nonsense with him, rush over and lift his head!"

Zhang Yan didn't even have the desire to talk nonsense with Guan Yu, and directly yelled and let the many thieves under his command start to charge Guan Yu.

At this time, Guan Yu also shouted very cooperatively, turned his head and ran, and a group of people chased after him.

At this time, Liu Feng, who was on a low mountain somewhere, looked at the blue sky and said faintly.

"Zhang Yan's luck is really bad!"

Gongsun Zhu looked at the dust coming from afar, and the silence for Zhang Yan in his heart was a little worse, he was indeed unlucky.

If he didn't have himself, Zhang Yan wouldn't have been able to meet him, a cheap father, and after returning to his lair at this time, he once again recruited thieves from all over the world to reorganize his arms and fight.

If he hadn't spoken just now, Zhang Yan would have confronted them head-to-head now, even if he saw that the situation was not good, he would have turned around and left.

It's like now, just experienced a defeat, and what is about to usher in another defeat is really a poor man.

Just when Gongsun Zhu was thinking about these things, Guan Yu finally lured the black mountain thieves behind him.

The land of giant deer has mountains, rivers and plains, it can be said that it is a place with a vast area and complex terrain, if it were not for the continuation of a victory, Zhang Yan would definitely not pursue like this.

Of course, there is also a reason that Zhang Niujiao died for less than three days, and they have been in a constant hurry for these three days, and even a trap cannot appear here.

It is difficult to become a wanderer, and this kind of thing can not be predicted by the prophet.

It was precisely for these reasons that Zhang Yan chased after that Guan Yu to the death, even if he couldn't kill them, he had to completely defeat them to boost morale.

Bypassing a hill, Zhang Yan estimated that the time should be about the same, and just as he was about to stop, the sound of killing suddenly came from all sides again.

The first thing I heard was Zhang Fei's tiger and leopard thunder sound, the distance was still far away, and that voice had already rushed over, in the eyes of Gongsun Zhu, Zhang Fei was definitely not suitable for ambush raids.

In a voice, the other side knew everything.

However, although Zhang Fei's voice arrived first, it was Zhao Yun's spear that was faster than him.

The spear in his hand charged, the tip of the spear was cold, and he went straight to Zhang Yan, along the way, many black mountain thieves were already overwhelmed by this sudden ambush, and under the charge of Zhao Yun and the righteous army, it accelerated their rout.

Guan Yu went around and drove back again with a big knife in his hand, and Li Damu, the leader of the Black Mountain Bandit Kou who had chased Guan Yu and them the most happily, widened his big eyes at this time.

Seeing the many brothers in front of him being slashed by Guan Yu continuously, and when he just raised the big knife in his hand to do something, Guan Yu had already rushed in front of him.

The big knife slashed directly from top to bottom, Li Damu got such a name because of his big eyes, and when he was facing Guan Yu at this time, those eyes seemed to be about to pop out.

It's just that even so, in front of Guan Yu's big knife, he was still cut in half by someone with a knife.

"Ahh Thief, die! ”

Just after Guan Yu slashed Li Damu with one sword, another Black Mountain Commander on the side also roared and rushed towards Guan Yu, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be able to turn into substance.

This person is one of Li Damu's few friends, Guo Daxian, the leader of the Black Mountain Thieves.

However, no matter how good the relationship between them is, and no matter how angry Guo Daxian is at this time, in front of Guan Yu, he can't change the fact that he is weak.

"Kill!" With another cold shout, Guan Yu raised his sword and rushed directly past him, and the head of Guo Daxian fell from his neck.

"Kill, the Han army is mighty!" At this time, Guan Yu also let out a shout, and the soldiers under his command also rushed over frantically.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were on the left and on the right, Guan Yu was in front and Liu Bei was behind, and this sudden ambush made the Black Mountain thieves, who had already suffered a big defeat, even more panicked.

"Withdraw!" Zhang Yan looked at Zhao Yun, who was rushing over and getting closer and closer, as a fellow villager, he also knew this guy's ability, and he also thought about taking him under his command at the beginning.

But then it got stiff.

And except for Zhao Yun, the other people were also brave one by one, and in this case, Zhang Yan knew that hard resistance was not the way.

If the morale was still there, he could still hold on to the spot and hold off their attack until the time came, but now he didn't have complete control over this army, so he couldn't do that.

So, the best thing to do is to withdraw.

As for the back, he can only get by, and slowly develop, anyway, there are many thieves in Jizhou and Bingzhou, and there are not one or two who are familiar with him, give him time, and he will be able to play a piece of the world.

Zhang Yan took his cronies Liu Shi, Zuo Colonel and other generals to leave immediately before they were completely encircled, and at the same time, Zuo Zhanba, who was also one of the commanders of the Yellow Turban Dao, broke out from the other direction with some other soldiers and horses.

Zhang Niujiao's last wish at the time of his death was to go to Guangzong to join Zhang Jiao, even if he couldn't open up a way back for the great sage and good teacher, he definitely couldn't forget to support Guangzong.

But Zhang Yan turned his face and didn't recognize people at this time, and relied on small favors to win the hearts of the Black Mountain Army, but Zuo Yanba and the others were still dissatisfied.

They are Zhang Jiao's henchmen, and Zhang Niujiao led the crowd to respond because of their persuasion, but now Zhang Niujiao is gone, but they can't forget their identity.

"Brothers, follow me to Guangzong to rescue the Great Sage and Good Master!"

"Roar~Roar~"

The Black Mountain thieves who were still mighty before had completely split into two factions and fled at this time, the cronies of the Yellow Turban had already broken through towards Guangzong, and the cronies of Zhang Yan followed him towards Changshan County.

As for those who hesitated a little because they didn't know how to choose, they were completely rounded up at this time.

"Those who kneel and ask to surrender, don't kill!"
